Shoe shelf

My project from a few weekends ago - Myles was generous enough to build me some storage space for my shoes. I can't believe I filled it up in one go!

It only took a trip to Bunnings, we bought some chip board, cut it to size, screwed in the shelves and painted it. Unfortunately all I can claim that I did was the painting, but my lovely bf  and his dad helped me out by building it and it is just perfect! I would love to have screwed shelves straight on to the wall and have it as a feature but seeing as I live in a rented home I'm not quite able to do that, but it didn't turn out too badly in the end!

We even put a couple of screws in the side to hold up my jewellery case. 

Very happy with my little project and hoping to start another soon. Keep you updated! xx

Boyfriend cut.

princess highway shirt dress, country road top, glassons shorts, sportsgirl belt, nixon time teller watch, earrings from etsy, dandelion shoes.

Just the rest of the pics from dinner last night, it was so hot! I have no idea why I was so covered up all the other girls were much smarter in their skirts and singlet tops but the shirt dress was one I bought in Melbourne and was dying to wear it so I decided to wear it open. Thankfully inside the restaurant was air conditioned and by the time we were finished. 

Anyway I went shopping tonight - not a good idea. Spent way too much money and now have limited funds to last me over the weekend until next pay day. Silly girl.

Dos Senoritas

Mmmm Mexican! Went out with the girls to Dos Senoritas for margaritas and quesadillas tonight...yummmmmyyyy! Now I am currently in a food coma so finding it hard to think.

Outfit post tomorrow! xx

Market part 2

Everything in the fruit and veg section looked so yummy! On the day we arrived I stopped and got 3 huge mangoes for $4! They tasted so good and there was so much I would have brought home if I could. Even one of these cacti...so cute!

Off to dinner with the girls tomorrow night, going to try a new mexican place so pics on that tomorrow. xx

To market to market.

So if anyone ever goes to Melbourne make sure you visit the Queen Vic Market! Here is just a few things I found, I ended up buying a few Christmas presents to bring back. 

One thing I severely regret is not getting this leather satchel! It is sooooooo pretty and I have a little obsession with satchels at the moment seeing as I'm waiting for my fluro orange cambridge satchel in the mail now. And those skull salt and pepper shakers that I saw in a shop window on my way to the markets...ahhh dream on.

The streets of Fitzroy and Melbourne Cup day

Melbourne Cup outfit: glassons dress, lipstik shoes, fascinator and pearls c/o myer, diva ring.

From the top: not too happy about shopping time, a couple of my favourite shops, old pubs and pretty stationery, decorative buildings and seating, graffiti, vintage bicycles and tin cows. The last three photos are from Melbourne Cup - my outfit (looking a bit grumpy as my fascinator broke and I had to improvise putting it back together with a safety pin and two stud earrings!) the crowd at race time, the winning horses.

I had an absolute ball walking down Brunswick Street, it has the most gorgeous vintage shops and I spent a bomb! So many pretty things to look at and even the old buildings and the vintage bikes that were all over the place. I would love to own one and ride around the city looking all indie chick with a straw hat and cute basket on the front of the handles. Ahh a girl can dream.

Anyway on to Melbourne Cup - the whole point of the holiday...it was awesome! Already planning my trip back for next year. If I am smart though, I will wear flats with my outfit and take my proper camera to take proper shots and people's outfits. Might need to make a note of that because I'm sure I'll convince myself that I will be able to cope in heels, when clearly I won't.

It was very hard going back to work today but looking back over my pics now, I remember the fantastic holiday I just had and it isn't so bad. Last holiday memories will go up tomorrow, I have some nice shots of the Queen Victoria Markets which I highly recommend you visit if you ever go to Melbourne.

Off to bed now as I'm falling asleep at my keyboard. Sleep well xx
